2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Review

The Giulia doesn't look or drive like any other small luxury sedan out there. Its distinctive grille will undoubtedly turn heads, and the way it handles puts traditional luxury sedans to shame. But this Alfa isn't for everyone. Some prefer the comfort, luxury and tech offered by rivals like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4, and don't mind sharing the road with thousands of other drivers who made the same decision. The Giulia is made for those who want a unique luxury sedan with an engaging driving experience.

For 2023, Alfa Romeo adds two new limited-edition trim levels: Lusso and Estrema. The Lusso builds off the Ti trim and adds a special leather interior and an upgraded audio system. The Estrema is based on the loaded Veloce trim and comes standard with a limited-slip differential and the adaptive suspension system from the high-performance Quadrifoglio model. The Estrema also sports carbon-fiber interior and exterior accents and 19-inch black wheels with black brake calipers. Dark Estrema exterior badging is also included.

The Giulia's 280-horsepower turbo-four engine is one of the most potent and lively standard engines in the segment, and don't forget about the bonkers 505-hp turbocharged V6 that powers the Quadrifoglio. If you prioritize the way a car drives, you can't go wrong with the Giulia. Its precise handling and Italian flair, though, come at a price.
